@VoiGAS said in general race 2 software comments/complaints: @Brad_Olwin About Suuntolink: I thought the new charger enables the watch to connect via USB - or is just the Hardware capable and the software functionality will follow? Yes, it does. On the Suunto Run music/podcasts, etc can be downloaded. On the Race 2 and Vertical 2 don’t know if there are plans for the USB connection.

@surfboomerang Thanks for the reply. 1: is fixed with custom sports mode, perfect! 2: a little annoying that i have to turn dnd on/ off manually, but mybe it will be an option to turn notifications off during workout, in future fw. 3: not good- button lock on, sports data pages still changing with a short press of middle button. A custom sportmode, can help, just having one page, or only usefull pages, that will do fine. Even worse, a force reset was made twice during my latest workout, im not even sure which button needs to be activated to perform that hard reset, but it did, twice, during handstand and handstand walk

@helgonet12 Indoor, watch mode, just raising my wrist I and pressing button for full activation of the watch, I was surprise one more time by the brightness. That was not ‘low’ at all, more high than low or even medium. So I went in the general setting, set display to medium and screen came back to an effective ‘medium’ brightness. Then I set it on Low, and then brightness was lower than medium. So I guess there is a bug about that display setting

@burrowsnp I agree about the brightness. Sleep mode needs to be scaled down a bit. When it’s not in sleep mode and it’s dark in the room or outside, it scales up rather than down (maybe an issue with the ambient light sensor in that environment). I didn’t see the same issues with the HRM though. Could be related to the ZoneSense issue - I haven’t used ZoneSense yet myself, so I hope it gets fixed as it seems quite useful! I disable wrist HR for runs when I use an external HRM (using the Garmin HRM Pro and sometimes the COROS HRM). The problem I’m having is we’re all waiting on an update from our friends at Suunto as to whether these are known issues that will be addressed in a software update, or will some of these be blown past and have us wait for two or three more release cycles. Garmin watches have similar issues and it’s sometimes upwards of a year before they get all the bugs out. I’m testing the new Coros watch as well and it’s basically bug free right out of the gate. Not to mention when you engage in their forum, the team actually responds (and often times it’s the CEO himself). The watch has a ton of potential - just a few hot fixes needed soon. Would be a good idea for Suunto to reach out to some of us passionate users to beta test devices before public release so these can ironed out.

@lessthanmore I cannot speak for Runna, I don’t use it but for TP as the OP asked is working.

@peegee Why don’t you simply zoom out by rotating the crown? That should be easier than panning the map around, especially when moving fast I know that may be a rhetorical question because trails disappear from the map when zooming out, so the question is more towards the Suunto team.

@Tomas5 Yes, I think its an undocumented feature. Found the function it by accident in direct sun, easy to reproduce if you try. Takes about 1-3 seconds to adapt on my Race S. Not much slower then raise to wake

@Henning-Hefner I came here to report the same Worst OHR I have ever had, worst than Race 1 4 runs First two were recovery runs I noticed 170 during first km then 140, then again 160 … Third one was 18k 600D fartlek trail, push hard in ascent, recovering in descent, good speed on flat sections. Hr was often 170 in recovery descent till the end, and ascent were 160… despite pushing 100%. Flat 165… So the 4th run this evening, flat recovery run at 5:35 per km, 10km. Same as you always 165/170. Stopping twice hoping to fix that… hr went down from 170 to 120 in 10 seconds. No way mine could do that. So finishing those 10 slow km with intense hr, I switch to polar HR and went out for another 1km for testing … same pace, perfect 138 HR in cruising mode That Race 2 got a serious problem for some of us. It s far worst than race 1 which was already my worst ohr in 10 years. I must say epix pro gen 2 was spot on regarding HR for me. I hope suunto is aware and working on a soft fix

@Bartek-W I’m new to Suunto but my explanation ist: In the activity screen it is total calories (activity calories + resting calories) so this number will be higher than the actual active calories on the widget or in the app.

@Tami999 How can we turn off automatic updates? Nevermind, I found it

@Kraisun-Tunta. I’ve the same problem, app thinks watch is in sports mode while it’s not, but I’m using iOS. Have to press lower button on watch to be able to sync. This behaviour happened after the update to 2.46.14

GOT EVEN WORSE!!! TOTAL BLACKOUT NOTHING HELPED UNTIL IT DECIDED TO COME TO LIFE AT ITS OWN TIME @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos

The max HR is your max HR. There can only be one. It is the top of the last HR zone, so it doesn’t matter what HR you can reach per sport, as you set the lower end of that last zone to your LT2 of that sport.

@duffman19 ah good to know thank you for your answer

@GiPFELKiND well, yesterday it worked but today it failed again…

@Egika Yes, the OHR LED is still flashing, I can even see the HR on the graph in the Suunto App during the night [image: 1757491107519-screenshot_20250910-095321.png]

@Neil-McElroy Are you sure there are elevation details on all those trkpts in the raw OS-exported GPX files? There are none in any of mine from OS. There is an initial ascent/descent stat and an elevation detail on the odd initial named waypoint but no more.

Hello you are not the only one for about 2 weeks the numbers of trainingpeaks and suunto do not correspond to anything

@soisan thanks!! I will try.

@OutdoorMan noted and thank, This topic really needs to be fixed urgently. It’s unbelievable that they’re still leaving it like this without fixing it.
